Expert Advice When You Need It Most

I have an artist agreement contract in front of me for my design services. How can I tell if all the royalties/terms are fair?

Is 10% royalty for my design fair? This is a new T-shirt company geared toward extreme sports. I don't see a clause where I can opt out if it doesn't work. Tell me all you can about freelance artist/corporation relationships. Thanks.

I agree with my colleagues, you should have a lawyer review the contract. There are several issues and options apart from the royalty that should be addressed before we could tell you if it is fair.
